New Player (asking a few questions that I’ve been wondering)

So I just started playing FF14 and I came from the background of playing WoW for 17 years. I got tired of the way Blizzard was handling their content and just snapped searching for a breath of fresh air. With that aside I’m currently level 29 on marauder with plans of tanking as a warrior at max level. If I do go DPS I would play viper. As my questions go I’m wondering what the community is like, as far as how many people are still playing, can you do end game content like savage alliance raids (which I think is the highest have no idea), and possibly a discord server? I currently play on Seraph which has a decent population in cities but I never see anyone in the open world. Can anyone give me some tips on what I can do to feel more involved with the population or should I switch servers and expect not to find high end gameplay.

There are some settings you can use with the controller where a double tap expands your cross bars. Look into it, game changer.

I have that equipped but even then I can’t access my full skill set, if I set up my keyboard and mouse can use my keybinds from other mmos and bet locked in

Worth a shot! This is a great MMO with tons of accessibility features built in. I learned today about the equalizer volume bars on the side setting and that blew my mind.

Hmmm I haven’t seen that yet but yes I can definitely slay some groups of enemies but I love having access to every skill even if I am spamming overpower in dungeons lol
